Continue ReadingI had the chance to see the remainder of the 17U division that I did not get to see on Saturday, along with a few 16U teams. I will have the 17U all-tournament team listed on Monday of the kids I saw. Remember, I only saw each team once so my team is based on what I saw in that game. That comes tomorrow along with a look at some solid point guards I saw over the weekend.
First up, a look at some of the Sunday Standouts I got to see today.
Merrick is a solid floor leader, and this guard can make plays happen for her team. Aggressive defender, can pressure the ball. Does a great job directing traffic, communicates well with her teammates. It was bright and early on a Sunday morning against one of the top teams this weekend, and she showed good poise and composure.
Anayya is a player who should continue to improve her game. She has a long athletic frame who moves well. She has good range, but she also is able to finish and attack the basket. Smart, heady player. Liked what she brought to the table with more to come.
Long frame with a great wingspan. Fundamental and is a good pick and pop player. Does a nice job sealing her opponent off, and wanting the ball in the paint. Stays with the play. Solid on the boards, able to utilize her height on the offenses rebounding. Had not seen her before today, definitely one to watch as the freshman goes forward. (feature photo above)
Highlights
Madison has great length and a player who established position well. Catch and scored at the rim. A player who moves well around the paint. Can block and alter shots with her size and defensive presence. Able to create space. Not afraid of the physical game.
